The Vineyard Kitchen
Menus Inspired by The Seasons
By Maria Helm Sinskey 

     With the change of the season, I have always felt it was difficult to find the right meals that would compliment the changing temperatures. I am thrilled to find a book that has been written to solve this problem. The Vineyard Kitchen: Menus Inspired by The Seasons is broken into four categories: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Each section uses the freshest of ingredients that is present at the applicable season to create mouth-watering meals that will long be remembered.

     Maria Helm Sinsky is an award-winning California Chef. Her recipes are created from scratch and have their own distinctive flavor. Her book includes 145 original recipes. Some of my personal favorites include Black Pepper-Crusted New York Steak, Chocolate Soufflés with Vanilla Bean Creame Anglaise, and Pumpkin Tortellini with Sage Butter. Each recipe provides detailed instructions that can make master chefs out of anyone. Very highly recommended.
